Categories: Ahoy! I got into Edinburgh today at about 10am in the company of the lovely Mark Olver. The flat I'm in rocks, i was hoping to embed videos but as of yet can't fathom it out; the blogging software Chortle uses doesn't allow direct embedding from YouTube for some reason. So if anyone knows how to get round this on an intel Mac then do let me know (the blog site used is b2evolution). Might have to revert to posting links to the vids.
Went for a Sunday Roast with Olver. It's not really a thing i do a lot, the old roast, but i think for him it's like heroin. I'd give it a 6/10 but for a more detailed 'roast review' go to www.markolver.com as he's reviewing little things each day. Cool.
Selected my walk on music etc today, which is all very minor yet exciting. I'm increasingly aware that my preparation for Edinburgh this year has been more financial than artistic. Unfortunately due to the nature of gigs in July it was easier to make nice money than play nice gigs. June/July is a hard time if you're A. unsigned and B. not doing a solo show, as there are no uni gigs, a lot of places just do previews for hour shows and you've no lovely agent to sort you out weekends at nice clubs. But such is life. At least i can eat like a king if i perform like a cockend.
Not much to do until the tech on Tuesday, so if i know you and you're up do let me know and we can swan around like Prick The Bishop. If i don't know you feel free to do the same... (unless you're a total ass-hat)
Piece out
